After the release of their third album eternity in 2000, Igarashi left to produce other Avex artists Dream and day after tomorrow. ELT became a duo, releasing their 4th album, 4 FORCE and further expanded their music with their 5th album, Many Pieces (regarded as their best work by most fans), which reflected a departure from their usual synth pop style to a more guitar-led sound. While many thought the departure of composer Igarashi was the end of ELT, Itou and Mochida proved they were more than capable of continuing ELT's success without him.
Following Many Pieces was ELT's 6th album, commonplace and their first acoustic-compilation, ACOUSTIC : LATTE. During ELT's 2004-2005 commonplace tour, Mochida suffered from bronchitis which further affected her singing style during the tour as well as on their 7th album, Crispy Park, released on August 9, 2006 (their 10th anniversary day). Mochida's singing style has changed slightly on every album, going from a clear, soothing voice to a high and cuter voice. Other than her singing, Mochida's unique hairstyles have also been making extreme changes throughout each album; it went from long, straight, and dyed during the everlasting -Time to Destination era to short and blonde during the eternity era. Mochida's hair then changed to medium-length black during the 4 FORCE era and further progressed to an extremely long and permed style during the Many Pieces-commonplace era. When ACOUSTIC : LATTE was released, Mochida's hair has changed to a bowlcut-like style and became even shorter during the era of Crispy Park. She has been letting it grow back ever since.
Every Little Thing are also known for producing songs for the popular anime, Inuyasha. They produced 3 songs: Ai No Uta (Song of Love), Yura Yura (Rock), and Grip! Many of ELT's songs have also been featured on CMs for TOYOTA, ice box, and Sapporo, as well as opening/endings for TV-dramas.
Their latest single "Atarashii Hibi/Ougon no Tsuki (あたらしい日々/黄金の月)" was released on August 27th 2008 and their latest album, Door was released on March 5, 2008, selling 89,894 copies, reaching #2 on the Oricon charts.

Every Little Thing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
悲しまずにいられるだろう...
「冗談だよ」って いつもみたいに
戯けて 笑ってみせて
誰にも言えずに
長い夜をただひとりで
どんな想いで、
どんな想いでいただろう
きっと 今もどこかで
微笑んでいますように...
限りあった 未来はきっと
残された掌で 輝くと今誓う
君が生きたその証を
永遠に愛しつづけよう
「もしも、あの時に...」
そう言って 震えながら
涙に濡れた少女をどうか救って
あのまなざしに惹かれた僕らは 今
君に届け、響けと、
愛に泣き歌うだけ...
同じ星に生まれて
同じ時代を過ごした
そして、出逢えた奇跡を
君からもらった愛を
さまざまなぬくもりを
その姿をその全てを 忘れない...
限りあった 未来はきっと
残された掌で 輝くと今誓う
君が生きたその証を
永遠に愛しつづけよう
These lyrics are from the song "good night" by Every Little Thing. The song reflects on the pain and difficulty of saying goodbye to someone. The opening lines ask what kind of goodbye would allow one to remain untroubled, suggesting that it is not easy to part ways without feeling sadness. The singer expresses a desire to show a lighthearted and joking demeanor, pretending that everything is fine even though they are unable to share their true feelings with anyone. They spend lonely nights with their thoughts, pondering what emotions the other person might be experiencing.
The lyrics then shift to a hopeful tone, as they wish for the stars that fade away in the black sky to continue smiling somewhere. The limited future that remains is promised to shine in the hands of the person left behind. The singer vows to continue loving the evidence of their existence for eternity. The song takes a poignant turn as it mentions a trembling, tear-stained girl who needs to be saved. The singer and those drawn to her gaze are urged to deliver their love and sing a song of tears for her.
The second verse reflects on the miracle of being born under the same stars, living in the same era, and having the fortune of meeting each other. The love received from the person being addressed is cherished along with the various warmth and presence they brought. The promise is renewed to continue loving the proof of their existence forever.
Overall, the lyrics of "good night" convey a complex mix of emotions: longing, sadness, hope, and a commitment to love despite the pain of farewell.

どんな別れなら 悲しまずに いられるだろう…
「冗談だよ」って いつもみたいに
戯けて 笑ってみせて
誰にも言えずに 長い夜を ただ ひとりで
どんな想いで、 どんな想いでいただろう
あぁ 黒い空に 散りゆく星のひかり
きっと 今もどこかで 微笑んでいますように…
限りあった 未来はきっと
残された掌で 輝くと 今 誓う
君が生きた その証を 永遠に愛しつづけよう
「もしも、あの時に…」
そう言って 震えながら
涙に濡れた少女を どうか救って
あのまなざしに 惹かれた僕らは 今
君に 届け、響けと、愛に泣き 歌うだけ…
同じ星に生まれて 同じ時代を過ごした
そして、出逢えた奇跡を
君からもらった愛を さまざまなぬくもりを
その姿を その全てを 忘れない…
限りあった 未来はきっと
残された掌で 輝くと 今 誓う
君が生きた その証を
永遠に愛しつづけよう

English Lyrics:
No matter how we break, I''ll almost certainly stay sad
Always looking like I'm saying"It's a joke!"
Showing how I loosen up and laugh
Without saying anything to anyone, I was always all alone
on those long nights no matter what I though, no matter what I thought
Aa, the scattering starlight in the black sky
Surely, even now, as though you're smiling somewhere
The restricted future surely
shines within these bequeathed palms, and now I promise
I shall continue to eternally love this proof that you have lived
"If at that time..."
Yes, I say while shaking
Saving the girl soaked in tears one way or another
Bewitched by that gaze, now we
reach out to you, echoing, simply singing and crying lovingly
Born born on the same planet, we passed the same time
And so, the miracle of us having met,
the love I accepted form you, the various types of warmth,
your profile, I won't ever forget any of it...
The restricted future surely
shines within these bequeathed palms, and now I promise
I shall continue to eternally love this proof that you have lived
